| aaaaaElectronic Arts (EA) Inc. is one of the leading producers of interactive software and is responsible for creating the most recognizable sports video games on the market. EA is most widely known for its Madden NFL series which maybe the most famous sports video game series ever created. However, in recent years FIFA soccer has been gaining popularity and is now selling at a close behind Madden. FIFA Soccer ‘09 is the best game to date in the series and has cemented FIFA as the premier soccer game on the market. According to his personal blog, user cgedas states that the FIFA soccer series debuted in late 1993 under the name FIFA International Soccer or FIFA ’94. Unlike, the other EA sports series such as Madden it entered into a competitive market that already contained other soccer games (October 18, 2007). |
| aaaaaFIFA first emerged for SEGA, but as new gaming platforms emerged FIFA expanded and is now released for every major gaming platform including PS3, XBOX 360, Nintendo Wii, PS2, and is even available on the computer. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world but exposure is very limited in America; football, basketball and baseball dominate the television market. The FIFA video game series has been responsible for exposing many Americans to the fascinating sport of soccer. FIFA Soccer ’09 is a “must have” for any sports fan with a video game console because the entertaining and easy game-play, amazing graphics, and the variety of different game modes. |
